Comments on: The Robin’s Christmas https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/12/24/the-robins-christmas-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 24 Dec 2023 15:45:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/12/24/the-robins-christmas-x/#comment-1533776 Sun, 24 Dec 2023 15:45:18 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=198532#comment-1533776 Thank you for including the cover image, wonderfully large and evocative. It gave me a feeling of sitting with the book in hand, carefully turning the pages, and appreciating the softened colors of the illustrations. The story is so suitable for the holidays — full of gentle high hopes for this little feathered fellow, and (bless us!) a happy ending.
What a lovely discovery on this cloudy morning in the Hudson River Valley.
Happy Holidays, GA, and readers.

He adopted me earlier in the year when I was digging and surprised at the sudden arrival so close. I know it’s cupboard love but my wife feels he has some spiritual presence. Merry Christmas!

However, it will be a balmy fourteen degrees this Christmas Eve so the birds will think it springtime instead.
A charming story nevertheless. Thank you GA and a Merry Christmas to all!
